Latvala is Papa Wilson's meal ticket for next season. He may be happy to have a "budget" No 2 driver.

MW has an invested interest in Tanak, so maybe he is trying to force Fords hand by sending him to Var, and trying to make him the obvious choice for 2nd driver, but listening to the irally MW interview, his stranglehold over having ultimate decision for driven selection is under threat in a new MSport/Ford contract. I've nothing against Tanak by the way, and is probably pick of young drivers, but don't think he'll be a WRC Champ is any less than 5 years, if everything goes his way.

Tänak has great future, but without a doubt it is too early for him to be Ford´s second works driver. If Ford is going to take Drivers or Manufacturers title in the near future it has to happen during the season 2012. The car is now almost on the same level than Citroen and Latvala has the speed and experience to fight with Loeb.

Things looks good for Tänak at the moment, but like history shows there is still a million things that can go wrong.
Aja kovaa Pena.

There was some romours in Estonian press yesterday that Malcom fill hire Tänak when he cant hire Ogier. Ogier is with WV now, so Tänak and Latvala are teammates for 2012 season?

Tanak is under contract and Mads is just a customer, no? Maybe D-Mack will be a factor?
Really waiting for rally Portugal to see Meeke's pace! Oliver will have proper challenge.. as Meeke smashed others.. yes, had puncture.. but still DOMINATED :D
